THE VOICE CONNECTION
SOUND OFF

Welcome to The Voice Connection Sound Off; a forum for users of books like Raise Your Voice, Melody to Madness, The Ultimate Breathing Workout, and Unleash Your Creative Mindset, as well as a place for Vendera Vocal Academy members to interact.

This message board was created so that singers could come together and "sound off" to help support each other during vocal development and the creative process of unleashing the creative spark that occurs when writing and producing music. Currently, myself and vocal coaches Ben Valen, Ray West, and Ryan Wall are here to respond periodicially to your questions, with new vocal coaches coming soon. But, feel free to help each other too:)

This board is here for you to ask questions about my and my fellow coach's books, videos, and MP3 programs, as well as offer others help with our vocal techniques. You may also post videos of yourself and your band to share your music and ask for critiques.

Please refrain from negative comments, profanities, spamming, and inappropriate criticisms of vocal methodologies, vocal coaches, and singers. All negative posts will be deleted and subject to banning without question. I will not respond to negative posts, because, as Mark Twain once said, “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.” With that said, positive criticism is welcome because that is how you'll grow as a singer during the training process.

Re: The tone, grit, range and power of James LaBrie

Considering James is my student, I can tell you first hand that the food poisoning reall affected him, but his range is back. I had him to Soprano As many times during our lessons and have seen him live nailing the same notes as the record. So, no worries my friend, he is over the vocal problems and back in business;)

Re: The tone, grit, range and power of James LaBrie

It's still unbelievable Jaimie taught Labrie. I remember like a year or so ago and that interview wasn't on the site. So Jaimie is still growing top clients?

Anyways, you sit with musicians and you usually always hear "Dream Theatre's soo technical", "OMG Dream Theatre: best band in the world!"

So how amazing is it that you can say, "I study from the guy that is coaching/taught Labrie." You know, just don't even add all the rest of the Tony Harnell, etc, or Myth Busters breaking glass stuff.

Re: The tone, grit, range and power of James LaBrie

Ive got the same feeling. I'm really excited with ryv and the opportunity to be here. Some of my friends don't believe in this program and my abilities, but I'm going to show em that with hard work and commitment even I can sing. When I first heard Dream Theater I noticed the unique voice of James and then I knew that I wanna sing. Tried singing success. It gave me some basisc. Now after 5months of ryv I've got more power and range. Long live Jaime!
